Summary

Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA’s top vaccine regulator, resigned after reportedly being forced out amid clashes with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

In his resignation letter, Marks wrote that Kennedy wanted “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

He criticized Kennedy’s stance on vaccines, accusing him of undermining public confidence.

Marks, who led the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research since 2016, played a key role in authorizing Covid vaccines and spearheading Operation Warp Speed. Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist, has questioned the safety of Covid and MMR vaccines despite scientific consensus.

    The well-being of locals is much more important to me than some may-be-vaccined-or-maybe-bilogical-bomb American whiner.

    The best I can offer is a vaccination koncentrazionlager. No proof of vaccination? Behind the barbed wire off you go. Get your vaccines, wait a few weeks and, if everything is ok, go further.

    You Americans for some crazy reason think that you should be let into any place because you’re American. Many people are sick of your chauvinism. “How dare you not to let me in?! I am American!”

    Pffft.

      This is not “I am an American and you should let me in” it’s very much “I’m fleeing my country for political persecution please allow refugees in from this shit hole country”

      Good to know nationalism, inhumane conditions, and good old fashioned concentration camps are acceptable as long as it’s “hurting the right people”!

        Europeans love their hubris. Don’t count on them getting off their high horse anytime soon. They’ll laugh at us while we die. We are on our own.

          We are on our own.

          Yes, America, you are.

          Because your government is doing everything they can to isolate you from the rest of the world.

          America is racing down the road to becoming a pariah state, and far too few of your fellow citizens are willing to do anything to even try to stop it.

          It’s not the rest of the world’s job to save you from yourselves. We are doing what we need to do to protect ourselves from your rapidly declining country.

      If it weren’t for your horrible shit attitude we could probably talk. But go ahead with your generalizations and assumptions. Thank God for tags in Boost
